METHOD FOR ORDERING PATIENT MEDICAL INFORMATION FOR INSURANCE UNDERWRITER

摘要

A method and system for assisting in determining when to order supplemental medical information about a patient. A system implementing the method receives patient information (214) from a user and returns a determination whether to order supplemental medical information (218) about the patient. Alternatively, the system provides the user with information (228) to assist the use in determining whether to order supplemental medical information (230). The system can be updated to reflect the latest procedures and guidelines (216) for determining when to order supplemental medical information. The system can include a tutorial system (204), which educates users on how to use the system, and periodic refresher tests, which ensure that the users are skilled enough to continue to use the system. The system can also incorporate the use of checksheets for inserting into patient files and auditing business operations.
